[Eve] Guide #2: Ship Fittings

R0ot

Post your ship fitting advice here, discussion can be done in a new thread.

Clearly label what ship you are describing fittings for and also its general strengths and weaknesses.

Cheap Gallante Tech I Frigates

TRISTAN-SOLO PVP

Light Neutron Blaster I - Loaded with Antimatter
Light Neutron Blaster I - Loaded with Antimatter
Small Rocket Launcher I - Loaded with EM with Explosive in Hold
Small Nostrafaru I

1mn Micro Warp Drive I
Warp Scrambler I
Stasis Webifier I

Small Armor Repairer I
Reactive Plating I
Micro Auxiliary Power Core

This is a short range setup, it is finely balanced to allow tackling, speed, damage and tanking, so it is unlikely you will be able to take down anything bigger than a frigate or a poorly fitted cruiser.

INCURSUS-FLEET PVP

Light Ion Blaster I - Loaded with Antimatter
Light Ion Blaster I - Loaded with Antimatter
Light Ion Blaster I - Loaded with Antimatter

1mn Micro Warp Drive I
Warp Scrambler I
Stasis Webifier I

Magnetic Field Stabilizer I
Micro Auxiliary Power Core

This is a get in there hold them down and hopefully do a bit of damage type of setup, it has no repair ability so consider an armor rep drone in the hold on long ops or fit a rep and lose the damage bonus of the mag stab.

My Mission Dominix

3 x 250mm Railgun II - Loaded with spike, javelin in cargo. low cost would be tungsten/antimatter
3 x Drone Link augmentor (+60k range)

1 x Sensor Booster II
1 x Drone Omni link
2 x Drone Navigation computers (+50n mwd speed on drones)
1 x Capacitor charger II

(for most missions this is low)
2 x active thermic hardener II
2 x active kinetic hardener II
1 x Damage control II
1 x 1600mm plate II
1 x Large armor repair II

1 x Drone scope chip
1 x Drone range chip

Drones
5 Ogre or Ogre II (i havent got gallente spec 4 yet )
5 Bouncer sentry drones
7 Hammerhead II
9 Hobgoblin II

Advantages
sentry drones hit at 120k, heavy drones move towards target at speed of mediums, and can keep up with frigs. mediums move at similar speeds to light drones.

Disadvantages
not much in the way of capacitor maintenance means excessive tanking will dry you out in about 10 minutes.

alternatives
if its too pricey changing stuff out to named items wont lower the effectiveness tooo much. if you change out the omni link and navicomps for extra cap chargers you can extend the tank time to about 15-18 minutes.

This bad boy really shines when tech 2 fitted, most people think cyclones are crap but they are not, they just cant tackle, its an expensive fit, but worth it. With the nos and neuts firing you will NUKE people's cap, switch your ammo depending on situation.

fast and deadly

Drone Bay
5x Ogre's (or 4 heavies and 5 scouts)

This ship rocks, laugh as people try and hurt you, and then plough them down and inform them of your l33tness in local

My last one died after tanking a Zealot, Hurricane and Dominix for about 3 or 4 minutes, the Hurricane died before i went down and the Zealot died seconds after.. this ship is truly great stuff, just keep an eye on your drones cos they tend to get attacked, if you cant use autocannons use more nos or neuts or blasters.

Renesco

Sniper Rupture

Highs
4x 650 Howitzer Artillery II with Quake or Tremor
2x Rocket Launchers

Mids
10mn mwd
2x sensor boosters

Lows
3x Gyrostabiliser II's
2x Tracking Enhancer II's

Drone Bay
5x light ecm drones

This nasty piece of work can go close range and long range, its purely for gang support, if your camping a gate and you have tacklers to web / scram the target (and you dont get shot at cos it has no tank)

With Quake ammo you will need to be at 20 - 25 kilometres but it will make bits of any armour tank, it does insane amounts of explosive damage.

With Tremor you can snipe at about 75 kilometres, and do nice damage, altho more effective on armour tanks.

Rocket launchers and ecm drones for anything that gets close to you

Myrmidon - my setup is quite similar to the one above

2x Knave Small Nos
4x Heavy Modal Ion Blasters

Mids;
1x 10mn Microwarpdrive
1x Medium Capbooster - carry as many 800 caps as you can
1x Stasis Webifier
1x Fleeting Warp Scrambler
1x Tracking Disruptor

Lows;
2x Medium Armor Repairer II
1x N-Type Explosive Hardner
1x N-Type Kinetic Hardner
1x N-Type Thermal Hardner
1x Damage Control II

Drones - Max Damage;
5x Orges

Drones - Flexibility;
2x Orges - oooh something big to shoot at
5x Hammerhead IIs - Kill a cruiser
5x Warrior IIs - Kill the inty


Blasters have a range 1475m!!!!!!!!!!!!

Standard attack procedure is
switch on damage control

approach to 0m using mwd
lock
web
scram
disrupt - all as fast as you can
orbit at 500m

Let loose with nos and blasters. Blasters with antimatter at that range peel armour off and the nos is vital to drain enemy cap and supplement your own.

Enable and disable the repairers as required.

If you know you're going after something big load ogres otherwise go for the mixed drones. Mixed gives frigates and cruiseds a headache, if they ignore them they are dead, if they lock them they are dead cause they aren't hitting you. Smartbombs are your enemy though so if you get hit with them nos for all you're worth and keep the repairers on. You'll loose drones but be doing huge damage.

Remember this is a knife fighting setup. Stand off beyond 2000m and you WILL die.

Post your one then, and tell us why this one is bad, if that's what you think of it.

BTW I'm not being smart but snide comments have no place in the fitting thread. It's to help people out, not to make fun of them.

also the most amount of damage done with a myrmidon is with its drones so you dont need to sit on top of them for max damage.

My current FW ruppie:

mamolian

Sin: I swapped the cap recharger for a sensor booster i think.. and took off the domination ****.. waste of isk ;p but rest works fine and is cheap enough.
Can be a fun wee ship.. looking forward to CCP fixing this ship class.. So far only action its seen is to hot drop a caracal lawl.



Phobos: Love this ship.. It can tank like a beast.. Its the worst Hictor.. but is still pretty epic.

Non tutorial mission running eh? Caldari pilot?

Kestrel - Check

[Kestrel, Starter]
Co-Processor I
Ballistic Control System I

Small Shield Booster I
Kinetic Deflection Amplifier I
Heat Dissipation Amplifier I

Standard Missile Launcher I, Bloodclaw Light Missile
Standard Missile Launcher I, Bloodclaw Light Missile

Standard Missile Launcher I, Bloodclaw Light Missile

This will get you on your feet in terms of L1 mission running I think. Not sure if you will be able to fit it all - Drop the BCU [ Ballistic Control Unit] in lows for another fitting mod if you need it [ Either a RCU - Reactor Control Unit or PDS - Power Diagnostic System, or even a MAPC ..... I forget - its under engineering anyhow, Micro Adaptive Power Core? ]. You can also check out Scrapheap Challenge and their PvE ship fits forums. And their PvP ones too. Some of the fits are nonsense, but theres usually a lot of discussion about them there so you get to see a lot of different points of view.

In terms of using it, the missiles should one volley most L1 frigates if not all. Get range as soon as you get in, start moving away from the enemy. Theyre very short ranged. You have decent range with the missiles, even with terrible skills. Use the shield booster only when you start hitting 50% shields. Dont turn it on to automatic, youll just waste cap.

The resistance amps are set up to deal with gurista missions which deal mostly kinetic and some thermal. Change them as you need to depending on the enemy. Google will turn up a lot of good EVE mission running sites.

Youll want a Caracal with Assault Launchers [ NOT Heavy Assault Launchers] for L2s.

When youve got a relatively stable income source from missioning you want to consider what you want to do in EVE. Both of the above make ISK and dont cost much in training time specialised towards them. Going full on into mission whoring youll want a Drake/Raven but you can also switch over to Amarr or Gallente ships and pwn with them. Dominix is a fine mission runner.

Your priority from day one needs to be making the ISK to get the advanced learning skills [ except Charisma which blows] and some implant set - +3s if you can get it, but even +2s or +1s are worthwhile so keep an eye on the loyalty point store].

Try to avoid getting trapped in the mission running cycle [ Run missions to buy skills/ships to run missions faster so you can buy skills/ships to run missions faster....] - think of it as a source of income to do fun stuff. Most new players dive into PvE first, last about 6-7 months and then quit without trying PvP in any serious fashion. You actually havent got that much right now, so youve got nothing to lose so long as you keep your clone updated and insure your ships. Learn how to get your pod out of fights ASAP, when youre going down, [ i.e. youre in structure....] then select ANYTHING in space and stab the "warp to" button like a mofo ... and dont stop when you land. I havent lost a pod in low sec, like .... ever I think. Get your overview setup correctly [ again, google]

You can dip into some [limited] PvP by joining one of the faction warfare corps. Youll remain safe in high sec, but youll be able to fight in low sec against enemies that will typically be fielding T1 frigates and cruisers.

If youre short on ISK, beg in the Irish channel. Lots of rich mofos in there. They might tell you to **** off, but thats only a test. Keep asking.
